Experience Gentoo penguins up close at Dubai Aquarium's Penguin Cove and Penguin Encounter!
Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo introduced Gentoo penguins in 2010, the first in the region. These penguins, from a U.S. facility, inhabit a state-of-the-art exhibit replicating Subantarctic conditions with air at 2-4°C and water at 5-7°C, plus a special light cycle. Home to 16 penguins, the exhibit features climbing structures and a slide. Starting with "Penguin Cove" and expanding to the "Penguin Encounter" visitors can enjoy immersive interactions and learn about the penguins' natural behaviors.
